The Dialogue Institute is excited to announce a special fundraiser in partnership with Philadelphia-area Ten Thousand Villages stores on Tuesday, December 15, 3-7 pm.

If you live in or near Philadelphia, you can do your holiday (or other) shopping at any of five local stores (see list to the right) and help support the Dialogue Institute while you're at it! Ten Thousand Villages will donate 15 percent of all in-store sales during that time period - from all five stores - to the Dialogue Institute. Representatives from the DI will also be on hand to share information and answer questions, so please stop by and say hello.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! To make the most of this unique opportunity, please save the date and make plans to do some shopping on Tuesday, December 15, 3-7 pm (please stop by our table and say hello!). And be sure to let any family, friends and colleagues in the area know about it - you can share this post through social media (see Share icon below) and/or download the event flier to share by email or otherwise.
